Kristina Davis

Kristina Davis is a fictional character ''General Hospital'', an American soap opera on the ABC network. Created by Robert Guza, Jr. and Charles Pratt, Jr., and introduced by Jill Farren Phelps in 2002, Kristina is the daughter of mob kingpin Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his former attorney, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). Following the portrayal of several child actors, Kristina was rapidly aged in 2009, with the introduction of Lexi Ainsworth in the role. Signed as a recurring role, Ainsworth was upped to regular status, following favorable reception from audiences. In 2011, Ainsworth announced she had been let go from the role. The role was reintroduced the following year when Lindsey Morgan was cast. Morgan remained for eleven months and was written out following her final appearance in March 2013. In 2015, Ainsworth returned to the role, appearing sporadically until her exit in 2023. The role is presently portrayed by Kate Mansi.

Following Ainsworth's casting in 2009, the character was introduced into a teen abuse dating storyline, where Kristina is repeatedly assaulted by her boyfriend, Kiefer Bauer (Christian Alexander), and further develops a crush on Ethan Lovett (Nathan Parsons). Ainsworth's work during the storyline garnered praise from press. With Morgan's casting, Kristina returned to Port Charles alongside Trey Mitchell (Erik Valdez) — whom she later marries — producing a reality television series as an act of revenge against her parents. Ainsworth's return in 2015 welcomed additional storylines, including the exploration of her sexual fluidity and joining a cult disguised as a volunteer group, known as Dawn of Day. Ainsworth's work in the Dawn of Day storyline garnered her critical praise.

For her work as Kristina, Ainsworth performances has been met with favorable reception from audiences and critics. She received a nomination for Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series in 2011, later winning for the same category in 2017. Unlike her predecessor, reception for Morgan was less than favorable. Despite this, she earned a nomination for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series in 2013 for her work as Kristina.
